BACKGROUND

Repairs and procedures, especially for major articles of equipment or emergency circumstances, in the field can be difficult to achieve when the proper tools are not readily available. Especially when repairs or procedures are difficult to anticipate or unusual in nature. Repair and/or procedure kits have been often devised to be used on common or known issues that may occur in the field but may not always be designed to be field expedient.

A field expedient task may be a task that must be performed at a remote venue in an expedited manner. The field expedient task may require a specific set of supplies, tools, documents, and other items that are particular to the task being performed. The nature of a field expedient task may dictate that supplies must be transported to a remote venue and carried by one person. The nature of the task may further dictate constraints on weight and footprint of the supplies. Once the remote venue is reached, it may be of paramount importance that the supplies are quickly accessible.

Here, the shell left side flap 210, the shell right side flap 220, the shell front cover 232, and the shell rear cover 234 have been folded back to expose the inner loadout storage roll 240. The disposable glove dispenser and storage area 222 for storing the disposable gloves 910 can be seen on the shell right side flap 220. The roll fastener 282 for retaining the inner loadout storage roll 240 in a rolled configuration is also apparent.

Turning now to FIG. 5 , the figure shows a detail view of the inner loadout storage roll 240 in a rolled configuration. The inner loadout storage roll 240 may be held in a rolled configuration by the roll fastener 282. As a non-limiting example, the supplies 900 may be held inside of the storage containers 260 that are coupled to the top side of the inner loadout storage roll 240. Additional items may be held in the one or more reverse storage positions 274.

Turning now to FIG. 6 , the figure shows a detail view the inner loadout storage roll 240 rolled open. The pair of retention bands 252 may be seen holding the storage boxes 262 and the storage tubes 264 in place. Tools 920 may also be held by the inner loadout storage roll 240.

Turning now to FIG. 7 , the figure shows a detail view of the inner loadout storage roll 240. Each position can be uniquely designated by indicia 266 that may be readable in dim lighting due to the glow tape backing 268 behind the indicia 266. Matching indicia 270 may appear on the storage box 262 to direct placement of the storage box 262 within the inner loadout storage roll 240. The matching indicia 270 may also be readable in dim lighting due to the glow tape 272 upon which the matching indicia 270 is printed. Note that some position such as POSITION ONE 931 may hold a single storage box 262 while other positions such as POSITION FOUR 934 may hold multiple items—in this case the storage tube 264 and the tool 920.

Turning now to FIG. 8 , the figure shows a detail view of a storage box 262. The matching indicia 270 on the glow tape 272 can be seen on the lid of the storage box 262. In various embodiments, the lid may be hinged or removable and may be held closed by one or more clips. A storage tube 264 and a tool 920 can also be seen in this view.

Turning now to FIG. 9 , the figure shows a detail view of the inner loadout storage roll 240 when unrolled. The plurality of obverse storage positions 250 are shown. In this embodiment, a single elastic band across the top and another across the bottom may form the pair of retention bands 252 for multiple positions. The end straps 254 may then be added for positions that are intended to hold a storage box. In some embodiments, the indicia 266 may be a feature of the end strap 254.

Turning now to FIGS. 10A-F, the figure illustrates a detail view of the sequence for rolling the inner loadout storage roll 240 having six (6) obverse storage positions as in a preferred embodiment. For the following discussion of FIGS. 10A-F, obverse storage positions of the inner loadout storage roll 240 are numbered from POSITION ONE 931 (1) to POSITION SIX 936 (6) going from left to right when the inner loadout storage roll 240 is unrolled.

With regard to FIG. 10A, this figure presents the first position of the roll up of the inner loadout storage roll 240. The inner loadout storage roll is prepared for transportation by folding POSITION SIX 936 down and to the left by 180 degrees such that POSITION SIX 936 is placed beneath POSITION FIVE 935.

With regard to FIG. 10B, this figure presents the second position of the rollup of the inner loadout storage roll 240. The inner loadout storage roll second position of the rollup is generated by folding POSITION FIVE 935 and POSITION SIX 936 up and to the left by 180 degrees such that POSITION FIVE 935 and POSITION SIX 936 are placed on top of POSITION FOUR 934.

With regard to FIG. 10C, this figure presents the third position of the rollup of the inner loadout storage roll 240. The inner loadout storage roll third position of the rollup is generated by folding POSITION FOUR 934, POSITION FIVE 935, and POSITION SIX 936 up and to the left by 90 degrees such that POSITION FIVE 935 and POSITION SIX 936 are placed on top of POSITION THREE 933.

With regard to FIG. 10D, this figure presents the fourth position of the rollup of the inner loadout storage roll 240. The inner loadout storage roll fourth position of the rollup is generated by folding POSITION THREE 933, POSITION FOUR 934, POSITION FIVE 935, and POSITION SIX 936 up and to the left by 90 degrees such that POSITION FOUR 934, POSITION FIVE 935 and POSITION SIX 936 are placed on top of POSITION TOP 932.

With regard to FIG. 10E, this figure presents the fifth position of the rollup of the inner loadout storage roll 240. The inner loadout storage roll fifth position of the rollup is generated by folding POSITION ONE 931 up and to the left by 90 degrees such that POSITION ONE 931 is adjacent to POSITION FIVE 935 and POSITION SIX 936.

With regard to FIG. 10F, this figure presents the final position of the rollup of the inner loadout storage roll 240. The inner loadout storage roll final position of the rollup is generated by fastening the roll fastener 282 between the bottom of the inner loadout storage roll 240 adjacent to POSITION ONE 931 and POSITION FOUR such that the roll is prevented from unrolling. The resulting roll may be coupled to the shell base 230 beneath POSITION TWO 932 via the coupling fastener 280.

It can be seen from this figure that the resulting roll-up is quite compact and effectively uses the interior space of the outer storage system 200. The resulting roll can be quickly accessed by unfastening the roll fastener 282 and unrolling the inner loadout storage roll 240 to expose all positions.

While certain illustrative embodiments have been described, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications, permutations and variations will become apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description.
